The Saints had a promising 2015 season from which most expected would materialise into a premiership.

They were unbeaten through the home-and-away season, but stumbled in finals to bow out in the preliminary finals.

But the lure of another successful season has Jude hungry for improvement.

“I really enjoyed coaching the Saints in 2015 and I feel that there is unfinished business,” she said.

“As much as we didn’t win the A Grade premiership, we did complete the home-and-away season un-defeated.

“It was a fantastic year for the whole club and I would like to continue striving for high results.”

Jude said the Saints are well positioned for another tilt at success in 2016.

“There is a lot of talent at the club and I believe I can continue working to assist all Saints players reach their full potential,” she said.

“There’s an air of excitement at the club and it’s going to be a great place to be a part of.”

Lee Fox will continue as director of netball at the club and said it had faith in Jude to produce good results once again.

“We have full faith in Sarah and were extremely proud of her efforts in 2015,” she said.

“As a club we hope to build on the good work of 2015 for success in the 2016 season.”

The Saints have also signed Krystal Sharple as their new B Grade netball coach.

“To secure two highly motivated trainers as senior coaches will ensure senior players will be in fantastic condition for the season commencement,” Fox said.

“We believe they will work cohesively together to produce some great results.”

Further coaching positions at the club have been advertised.
